Amazon announces further closures with seven delivery stations to shut

Amazon has said that it plans to close seven delivery stations across England after an earlier announcement that it would shut three warehouses.

The sites employ at the most a few dozen workers, and all staff will have the opportunity to transfer to other stations nearby, Amazon said. Two of the sites will be replaced by new delivery stations.

A spokesperson said: "Amazon will open new delivery stations in Havant and Aylesford. They will replace existing, older delivery stations in Portsmouth and Aylesford and employees at those sites will transfer to the new buildings. A further five delivery stations in Huntingdon, Horley, Newcastle, Birmingham and Hemel Hempstead will also close, with employees transferring to other stations in the local area."
